VISITORS:
Mr. Ron Campbell, of 430 S. Sycamore Avenue, addressed Council with
several concerns as follows:
Mr. Campbell was requesting that Council consider amending recent
additions to the Pasco Municipal Code that require contractors to pre-qualify
before being issued a permit to work in public right-of-way. Mr. Campbell
stated he was denied a permit to work in the right-of-way in front of his
property.
Council referred this matter to staff to consider a solution that would allow
small contractors, who are doing small projects to get a permit.
Mr. Campbell received a letter from the City stating that the water line in
the alley was going to be updated and that anything done on or to his

property would be returned to how it was. After the project was completed
Mr. Campbell noticed he had inadequate water pressure for his underground
sprinkler system.
Mr. Campbell was referred to Mr. Alberts, Public Works Director.
Mr. Campbell explained that some time ago his son noticed someone
dumping debris on his property. His son took down the license plate number,
which was then turned over to the Code Enforcement Division. A code
enforcement officer then turned the information over to the Police
Department to determine who was doing the dumping. Mr. Campbell stated
that the end result of this was the person doing the dumping came to his
door, as instructed by a police officer, to set things straight with Mr.
Campbell. Mr. Campbell reported to Council that he has not seen the
individual since the original meeting, he still has someone else's garbage on
his property and he was upset that this individual was sent to his private
residence to work things out with him.
Council referred Mr. Campbell to staff to get this issue resolved.
